When I talk to her she seems like a nice girl, but I really struggle with not judging her to be like me at that age. Part of me is like stay away from my son, he doesn't need to learn how to handle the likes of you yet. LOL

I really have to step back and say...its OK, she is not you, just keep an eye on things.
I sometimes think how easy it would be if it were just me that I had to keep safe, protect, blah, blah, blah, but I know I would be missing out on the specialness having children gives, you the love I feel for them, but as you say also, its so hard..
